Fashion Trends For Spring 2009
While bundling up against the cold temperatures and snow, I look
forward with great anticipation to spring and being able to shed by
warm layers in favor of light and flowing warm weather fashions. As
part of my defense against a harsh winter, I have compiled a list of
trends that seem to be emerging for spring 2009.
Light, gauzy fabrics in layers have made their way down the runway
in dresses and tops. Flowing dresses in floral patterns are being
seen paired with ankle-strap stilettos. The color palette for these
lovely, feminine dresses ranges from bright citrus to watercolors to
neutrals and nudes.
Skinny pants are still in, with the 7/8 length cigarette pant
appearing in a wide array of bright colors and are fun and sassy
with sky-high platform shoes and a cropped jacket.
Harem pants are also making an appearance, but do not panic. These
are far from "Hammer" or "Genie" pants. With a tailored styling,
these pants are great paired with anything from a delicate chemise
to a casual, rolled-sleeve blazer.
Jumpsuits are here in lightweight, draping fabrics and styles.
Accessorized with belts and heavy jewelry, these easy-to-wear
outfits are stylish in long leg as well as short styles.
Bohemian looks from the 1960's and 1970's are back in a glamorized
way with bright colors and metallic accents; these are not your
mother's hippie clothes.
In shoes, shy-high platforms and ankle detailed shoes are the
winners. Styles with ankle embellishments, from straps to ribbons
are at the forefront of spring footwear. Also a hit are high heel
cut-out booties. The traditionally winter style is great for spring
with a peep toe and open design.
The most important thing to remember in fashion trends is to have
fun with them. Choose the styles you like that flatter your body and
leave the rest.
